Where is the EGR valve 1998 WF festiva?

[mr-fusion]

I have the haynes manual for the year earlier model and the egr valve they picture cant be found on my car.

Anyone know w here they are located on my model? There is something that looks suspiciously like it to the left of the throttle body but there's no electrical connector on it and the pipe runs all the way under the fuel injectors down underneath the passengers side somewhere?


I will try and get pictures.

What engine do you have?

1.3 or 1.5?

From memory aren't the 1.3 semi carby fed? and the 1.5 efi.

[mr-fusion]

Yes 1.5, it is EFI.

Here's a shot of my engine.

Isn't the egr valve the bronze circular looking thing just to the right of the inlet manifold, where all the tubes go in too!!

Maybe your car has had an engine swap!

Nothing listed for the 1.5 ???

But i have this for the 1.3...

EGR System
The EGR System (If fitted) recirculates a small amount of exhaust gas into the Intake Manifold to reduce combustion temperatures and reduce NOx Emissions.
The System consists of:
1. The EGR Control Valve
2. The EGR Valve Position Sensor
3. The EGR Vent Solenoid Valve (3 Hose - Normally Open)
4. The EGR Vacuum Solenoid Valve (2 Hose - Normally Closed)
5. The ECM and it’s Input Devices

The EGR operation is controlled by the ECM’s actuation of the EGR Vent Solenoid Valve and Vacuum Solenoid Valve to control the EGR Control Valve.

It is monitored by the EGR Valve Position Sensor.
When the Engine Coolant Temperature is less than 55°C, during Idle (Idle Switch ON), Deceleration, High Speed (Above 5,500 RPM) and Heavy Load, the EGR operation is suspended.
When the Engine Coolant Temperature is between 55°C and 60°C and during Acceleration. the EGR operation is reduced.

To Test:

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Solenoid (1.3L Engine Only)

The EGR Solenoid Valve is located centrally on the firewall.

The ECM actuates the EGR Solenoid with a Duty Cycle signal.

To Test Voltages:

See ECM Pin #49.

To Test Solenoid Function:

Disconnect the wiring connector and vacuum hoses
• Verify that air will flow through the valve from A to the air filter.
• Verify that air will not flow from A to B.
Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
• Verify that air will flow from A to B.
• Verify that air will not flow from A through the air filter.

Sorry mate the program wont let me cut and paste pics .. but i cannot find it either ?

I thought it might be as well, so i unplugged the electrical connector to let it throw an error code to see what it was.

The error code it threw was for the 'idle control solenoid valve'. The engine would also not start with it unplugged.

Indeed its possible it had an engine swap. Weird situation.
